PTB parayan - advice requested

[aham brahmaasmi]

Hari: Om ! Nama: Sarvebhya:! 

I am working on creating a PTB parayan channel. (audio-visual).    It is hoped that this might be of help to sadhakas. 

Here it is :   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lu5rHtBqhhQ.  

You may not be able to view it due to the viewing restrictions currently placed on it. The videos in these have my Math's and Shringeri Math's logos. The plan was to submit this at the Holy Feet of my Guru and Ubhaya JagadGurus first. IF their approval was obtained, I would open it all else. 

However, a significant illness and hospitalisation for 6 weeks has put me back. I may not be able to travel to India this Chaturmas for the submission. 

I seek all of your wise counsel on : 

1) Do you think this project might be useful for sadhakas?    

if yes, 2) how can I submit this remotely ? 

3) until such time that the Guru's permissions are obtained, will it be acceptable to circulate these videos which have the logos of both Maths on them? 

Thank you, 

Sakshi

A very good initiative indeed. However could you think of using AI for this? Just now we have seen someone has made a voice output of the Mahabharata etc. if such a thing can be made for reading out the Prasthana Traya Bhashyam that would make the work much easier. But a lot of checking and verification will have to be done before it is put in public domain.

Several years back late Sri Sundar Hattangadi made his own voice recording of the Bhagavad Gita bhashya and put it on archives.org.

About a year back a friend commenced recording in a studio his own reading of the Upanishad bhashya taking the blessings of the Sringeri Jagadguru. But it is not progressing. They encountered challenges in recording. Mistakes occur while reading out the words, splitting them etc. A tough job indeed for such a huge project. That is why I think AI could be a better option to achieve this. 

Best regards

Namaste Subbuji,

True. I am working on this along with my merged bhashya-tika books and my target is also audio books of that merged version. If the bhashya and tika segments are rendered separately, it would then be just a matter of making different playlists.

However, I have exhausted free options and weighing out paid options now comparing speed, quality and cost factors.  If any one is interested to work together, contribute, or has other ideas, kindly email me or reach out on WA.

Dear Raghav Ji, 

I tried a Sutra Bhashya passage:

कथं पुनः सर्वगतस्य परमात्मनः परिमाणोपदेश इत्यत्र ब्रूमः —

हृद्यपेक्षया तु मनुष्याधिकारत्वात् ॥ २५ ॥

 द्विरूप

सर्वगतस्यापि परमात्मनो हृदयेऽवस्थानमपेक्ष्याङ्गुष्ठमात्रत्वमिदमुच्यते; आकाशस्येव वंशपर्वापेक्षमरत्निमात्रत्वम् । न ह्यञ्जसा अतिमात्रस्य परमात्मनोऽङ्गुष्ठमात्रत्वमुपपद्यते । न चान्यः परमात्मन इह ग्रहणमर्हति ईशानशब्दादिभ्य इत्युक्तम् । ननु प्रतिप्राणिभेदं हृदयानामनवस्थितत्वात्तदपेक्षमप्यङ्गुष्ठमात्रत्वं नोपपद्यत इत्यत उत्तरमुच्यते — मनुष्याधिकारत्वादिति । ‘शास्त्रं ह्यविशेषप्रवृत्तमपि मनुष्यानेवाधिकरोति; शक्तत्वात् , अर्थित्वात् , अपर्युदस्तत्वात् उपनयनादिशास्त्राच्च — इति वर्णितमेतदधिकारलक्षणे’ (जै. सू. ६ । १) । मनुष्याणां च नियतपरिमाणः कायः; औचित्येन नियतपरिमाणमेव चैषामङ्गुष्ठमात्रं हृदयम् । अतो मनुष्याधिकारत्वाच्छास्त्रस्य मनुष्यहृदयावस्थानापेक्षमङ्गुष्ठमात्रत्वमुपपन्नं परमात्मनः । यदप्युक्तम् — परिमाणोपदेशात् स्मृतेश्च संसार्येवायमङ्गुष्ठमात्रः प्रत्येतव्य इति; तत्प्रत्युच्यते — ‘स आत्मा तत्त्वमसि’ इत्यादिवत् संसारिण एव सतोऽङ्गुष्ठमात्रस्य ब्रह्मत्वमिदमुपदिश्यत इति । द्विरूपा हि वेदान्तवाक्यानां प्रवृत्तिः — क्वचित्परमात्मस्वरूपनिरूपणपरा; क्वचिद्विज्ञानात्मनः परमात्मैकत्वोपदेशपरा । तदत्र विज्ञानात्मनः परमात्मनैकत्वमुपदिश्यते; नाङ्गुष्ठमात्रत्वं कस्यचित् । एतमेवार्थं परेण स्फुटीकरिष्यति — ‘अङ्गुष्ठमात्रः पुरुषोऽन्तरात्मा सदा जनानां हृदये सन्निविष्टः । तं स्वाच्छरीरात्प्रवृहेन्मुञ्जादिवेषीकां धैर्येण । तं विद्याच्छुक्रममृतम्’ (क. उ. २ । ३ । १७) इति ॥ २५ ॥

The audio rendering skipped letters in two places, one I have highlighted above. Here's the link to the audio. Please follow closely and point out any other thing that needs repair.

I don't know if it can be improved. It's nice to hear.  The voice sounds like that of Dr. Pratosh, as I have heard him speak at various venues.  

I think our people can use this tool by giving ample credit to it.  

Warm regards

Dear Subbuji
 Please see this for what you suggested - AI reading sanskrit prose.

I tried it with a few lines from adhyāsa bhāṣya and it seemed to work fine.

Om
Raghav

Namaste Subbuji,

It skipped the initial part of शक्तत्वात् also, but this is common in AIs to skip some parts, especially if you give long passages and well-known texts where they may have training data. It gives an error if I put any text longer than 4 padas even for gadya. How did you get such a long passage work in a single unit? 

Also the reading is like chanting. It sounds good as pArAyaNa but not for study IMO. I am planning to go with reading styles not chanting for bhAShya-TIkA.

Another thing to note is that with 10 chants of segments per day, this might be another endless task!

Kind rgds,

Yes, I copied that entire bhashya, pasted it into the window and gave the 'go' command.

It does hear like chanting.

Yes, I think there are limitations.

Namaste.

(Only for test preview... still under development):

https://gitaarchive-tech.github.io/ishavasya-reader/

Click to read. Some pronunciation is still incorrect. eg, जान instead of ज्ञान and Hindi number reading etc. Yet, the style of reading is pretty much awesome and could be an extremely useful tool for students. I wanted to generate videos for YT which may be useful but this is a real study tool on the webpage, IMO.

Finally, some success on a Guruvara.
